For almost ten years Viktorija’s been hopscotching back and forth from her Paris home to make music with her Stateside musicians. Once again, she’ll entertain us with her song stylings as only she can do.

“An amazing singer, smart and sophisticated beyond her years, she bears comparison with the greats. Her voice is spontaneous, intimate, sensual and fun. She’s got great phrasing, impeccable timing; and she hits every note on the button. She loves the classic American songbook, and sings it as though the 1950’s had never come and gone – she’s a class act.” – Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival.
